Symptoms of cervical spondylosis and periarthritis

Patients with cervical spondylosis may experience symptoms such as sharp pain in the neck and shoulders, numbness in the upper arm muscles, reduced muscle strength, and limited finger dexterity. They may also develop dizziness, nausea, and difficulty walking. After developing shoulder periarthritis, patients suffer from pain in the shoulder and surrounding areas. The pain worsens at night, and shoulder joint movement becomes restricted. On examination, the shoulder feels tight and stiff, with distinct localized tenderness.
